Projects in Central Scotland that support trees, woodlands and green infrastructure, encourage community growing or promote active travel can now apply for a share of up to £700,000 with the announcement today of the latest phase of the Central Scotland Green Network (CSGN) Development Fund by Environment Minister Aileen McLeod.

Dr McLeod made the announcement during a tour of the innovative Castlemilk Woodlands Project in Glasgow, which has previously received support from the Fund.

GREEN SURGE, a collaborative project between 24 partners in 11 countries, has recently launched its European Learning Alliance (LA), a virtual community of urban green infrastructure planners, practitioners and other experts.

CSGN partners are delivering projects across Ayrshire, helping to make central Scotland a more attractive and distinctive place to live, to visit and to do business in. Here are just a few of the projects that are currently taking place in the area.

We recently saw a fun article showing the transformation that public-spaces have gone through, but recorded by Google Street View. It inspired us to have a look for examples in the CSGN area.

The CSGNT stakeholder tour took place on 24th September. Guests from a variety of organisations were taken round a selection of green infrastructure and greenspace projects, hosted by a number of our CSGN partners.
